Should I use FileVault?
Got a mid 2012 MacBook pro and was wondering if using FileVault is a good idea for this machine.
Will it slow down performance?
Thanks
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
So when I am formatting a brand-new hard drive, if I choose, "Encryption" I have FileVault ?
...
Yes.
I was surprised to read the negative opinions here about FileVault. Some of those posts are little bit old now. I wonder if they are still valid?
I have been using it with my latest MacBook Pro with no issues.
